The Duchess's High School Trust shall exist for the purpose of advancing the education of the pupils by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities and resources for the education of the pupils at the school which would not be provided otherwise.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
